Question 1

can you ovulate while switching cocs?started new coc after pill free week, zero late/missed pills, but changed intake sched from 1pm to 9pm w/new pack

Accepted Answer

Should not: Your body won’t recognize the difference of one brand of birth control pills to another. If you took them as directed with no time off in between then they are just as effective as if you were on the same pill.

Question 2

started my 2nd pack of dianette. i have been burpring/belching a lot, even in between bites of food. also hurts mid chest & back when swallowing food?

Accepted Answer

Gastroenterology: It sounds like you may have a digestive disorder. I would schedule a visit with a Gastroenterologist to be evaluated for acid reflux and other upper GI disorders. This may or may not have anything to do with birth control.

Question 3

hit by corner under eye. under eye is swallowing, i see a deep scratch under lower lid/sclera. ice packs helps. eye paining when closing eye. advice.

Accepted Answer

See your eye doctor: ASAP, meaning oculoplastics surgeon! Eye swelling after being hit can indicate a possible orbital floor fracture &amp; especially if you are seeing a deep scratch. What's behind the scratch is important &amp;  u may need orbital xrays or CT scan done to determine the extent of soft tissue/bone injury. If u can't look up, there could be entrapment of fat or eye muscle. May need oral steroids. Don't wait!

Question 4

i want to either lose weight or get muscle and lose fat so are there any excercises for getting a 6 pack and how long will this take? what should my daily calorie intake be?

Accepted Answer

Strength exercises: In general building lean muscle with strength and core exercises will provide better overall weight control because lean muscle burns more calories than fat.  How long this takes will depend on how aggressively you exercise.  In general maintaining a low carb/high fiber and high protein diet is best.  Consume about 10-12 calories per pound of your desired weight.  This is only an estimate.

Question 5

tonsils keep swelling..had several rounds of abx goes down for awhile but comes back ..not sore..bit of difficulty swallowing..had amox&z-pack in past?

Accepted Answer

Seek an: opinion from ENT or Head &amp; Neck surgery specialist.  You might be candidate for tonsillectomy.

Question 6

27f. 1 swollen tonsil, difficulty swallowing (a few times over past year, lasts a few days), throat not sore until after i touch it. smoke 1 pack/day & have had abnormal paps w/ mild changes for 6 years. how likely is cancer? what else could it be?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: Unilateral tonisllar lesion warrants an assessment by an ENT doctor. You may start with your primary care doctor to ascertain if an ENT referral is needed. 
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Question 7

strep 6 wks ago but neg test. given penicillin, didnt work. then a z pack, felt better. then days later sore throat changing sides, dizzy spells. almost 2 months now and this sore throat feels like swallowing glass on one side, then switches 2 other?

Accepted Answer

: Strep is universally killed by penicillin. Re-infections do occur, but your symptoms sound more like the effects of a backwash of stomach acid in your throat. Talk with your doc about the possibility of reflux. If you treat the wrong issue it is likely to continue.

Question 8

bumps on very bck of tongue, sore red throat, trouble swallowing food. my doctor says it's viral took z pack still there since january. help :(?

Accepted Answer

Throat's sore: Antibiotics will not treat viruses, only bacteria. If throat still sore and red, return to your Physician or an ENT for reevaluation. As to the bumps on the back of your tongue, they may be normal valuate papillae (Google the term).
